Brief Summary  

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Travoprost 0.004% and Timolol 0.5% eye drops in patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG). It is a prospective, open-label, parallel-group study which will be conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital over 12 weeks. The primary objective is to assess the reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP), while secondary objectives include evaluating safety (adverse drug reactions) and medication adherence using a validated scale. Forty-two patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups. Travoprost is hypothesized to demonstrate superior efficacy, safety, and adherence compared to Timolol, which will be analysed in this study.
